Friday Varia and Quick Hits

I’m sitting by the fire drinking coffee as a wet and heavy snow falls over North Dakotaland. Winter is here! 

Fortunately, It’s well over 30 so I won’t have to shovel, but I do worry about the trees and the folks out driving on the beet campaign. Wet and sloppy roads make a long night of driving challenging.

For the rest of us, it feels like a good day to stay indoors, and, if possible, focus on some reading and writing.

Here are some quick hits and varia for the first days of winter:

• Photos of storm damage in the Argolid.

• Opium in Cypriot base-ring juglets. 

• Rhetoric of dreaming.

• RIP David Jordan.

• Goodwin Award winners from the SCS.

• Digging in the Trash.

• Women’s Rage Syllabus.

• Allergy to Originality.

• University presses are thriving.

• Timex Marlin Automatic.

• Once again, I did not win a MacArthur.

• What I’m reading: Connie Y. Chaing, Nature Behind Barbed Wire: An Environmental History of the Japanese American Incarceration. Oxford 2018.

• What I’m listening to: Freddie Hubbard, Straight Life.
